We’re rolling back the years with the return of the ‘Space Race.’

But this time around it’s more than just the US and the USSR.

Richard Branson’s maiden voyage into the unknown is set to lift-off on Sunday, and he’ll be followed up there by fellow billionaire Jeff Bezos in late July.

But quite a lot has already happened this year; as China puts the finishing touches on its own space station, Beijing and Moscow are planning a base on the Moon, while NASA’s Mars rover continues its exploration and Elon Musk’s SpaceX gears up to fully utilize its reusable rocket.

It’s the modern reboot that no one asked for… but everyone wants.
